Dave Bryant, of this county, who resides near the Tennessee state line and who has been wanted for several months on a charge of homicide, came in Tuesday and gave himself up to officers and was lodged in the county jail. Wednesday he was bonded out, the amount of his bail having first been fixed by conference between Bryant’s lawyer and Judge McElroy, who is holding court in Waynesville this week. Bryant was met at the train by Chief Birchfield, who took him in charge.
A true bill was found against the defendant by a recent grand jury for the alleged taking of the life of a man by the name of Clark some months ago. Bryant is said to have a dispute over the corner or boundary line between two tracts of land.
